UN CC:Learn and UN-REDD have launched a learning guide for advanced learning on Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD+), in an exemplary collaboration between two One UN global programmes.

IMO has been energetically pursuing the limitation and reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from international shipping, in recognition of the magnitude of the climate change challenge and the intense focus on this topic.​​​​ As such, it works both on setting standards for the industry, as well as provide training for countries to implement them.

Burkina Faso has started the process of systematically strengthening learning and skills development related to climate change: over 50 people from the government sector, civil society and training institutions took part in the National Planning Workshop for the Development of Burkina Faso’s National Climate Change Learning Strategy.

UN CC:Learn Ambassador Mr. Ramirez Tejada tells member countries' politicians and diplomats of the Central American Integration System (SICA) that it is time to invest in people to effectively deal with the challenges posed by climate change.

The 20th Conference of the Parties (COP 20) to the UNFCCC has adopted the Lima Ministerial Declaration on Education and Awareness-raising. The Declaration encourages “governments to develop education strategies that incorporate the issue of climate change in curricula and to include awareness-raising on climate change in the design."

In an innovative initiative (possibly the first of its kind globally) the Central American countries met this week at a side event chaired by the Minister of Forests, Fisheries and Sustainable Development of Belize, Ms. Lisel Alamilla, to discuss a regional programme on climate change learning.

Indonesia’s National Climate Change Learning Strategy was featured at a COP 20 side event on “Education and Communication as Cornerstones for Effective Climate Actions” in Lima, Peru on 10 December 2014.

An unusual side event at the annual Climate Conference in Lima (COP 20) provided a snapshot of what the United Nations is doing to support climate change education and training for children, youth and adults. Panellists and participants discussed how learning can actually ‘make a difference’ on the ground.
